He Loved Me
First
by
Barbara Philbrook
He loved me
first, He's loved me best,
He is my strength through every test.
I never deserved
it not at all,
but He is there every time I call.
He loved me
first, He's loved me all along,
even though I've done many things wrong.
His love does
not depend on what I do or say,
it does not stop when I fall short or neglect to
pray.
Even if I'd
neglected to make Salvation my choice,
even if I'd rejected Him with my own voice.
The Love would
continue just as strong,
whether I was living my life doing right or wrong.
He loved me
first and allowed me to choose,
even if in the end I'd opted to lose.
So much depth
has His love for me,
that I got to choose where to be for eternity.
Not for anything
would I turn Him away,
I choose to surrender each and every day.
Yes He loved me
first and loves you too,
and you alone must choose what you will do.
Please don't let
that love be for naught,
accept salvation as the Holy Word has taught.
It is easy
there's not much to do,
admit you're a sinner and what the Bible says is true.
Accept the offer
to pay for your sin,
open your heart and invite Him in.
Then surrender
daily to His loving care,
then when we're called home in His Glory you'll share.
